The Georgia Straight presents Ky-mani Marley and Luciano at the Commodore

Melo productions has announced that reggae artists Ky-Mani Marley and Luciano will bring their 2013 Summer Splash tour to the Commodore Ballroom on Friday, June 21. 

 Ky-Mani Marley, the son of Bob Marley, continues where his father left off, creating a musical style that transcends cultural and creative boundaries incorporating world music, hip hop, blues, rock, and reggae. 

Luciano, a second-generation roots reggae artist and poet, began recording in 1992. With the release of his 1995 album Where There Is Life, Luciano emerged as one of the most important reggae singers in decades. He has since received numerous awards including Mandela’s ‘Most Cultural Artist’.
